Excerpt from The Teaching of Geography in France: A Comparative Study; Report of Observations Made (1920-21) As Gilchrist Geography Student
For the purpose of the investigations on which this report is based, three centres, Paris, Grenoble, and Strasbourg, were chosen from which to work. In each centre, and in the neighbouring departments, as many schools and colleges as possible were visited. The departments involved were Seine, Seine-et-Oise, Isere, Drome, Ardeche, Haute Savoie, and Alsace. Investigations were made in all grades of schools: elementary, higher elementary, and secondary; in each grade of training college; and in three universities.
Twenty-five schools in all were visited, some for girls and some for boys; and ten training colleges, some for women and some for men. It was possible to visit some of these schools and colleges freely and frequently, and to follow up courses of work in different classes. Others could only be visited at stated times. On the whole the work seen was, I think, representative of the education of the country, although I regretted not being able to have an additional centre in the west of France.
The official programmes and syllabuses of work quoted in the report are those in the collection issued at the Librairie Vuibert, 63 Boulevard Saint-Germain, Paris.
